Lent i'm Boston.
Providence Journal.

frOVlQeuce JOurudl.
Lent takes its strongest hold in Boston
on the domestic side, and all sorts of serv-
ant Publications are no doubt carried Oh by
pious souls who have obtained leave to go
out to evening service. A Back Bay lady
said the other day that she was once sur
prised during Lent by the sudden piety of
her indoor man, a spruce young fellow of
Irish-American parentage. He insisted
that it was necessary that he attend mass
every evening, and he accounted for the
outrageous lateness of his return home by
saying that he went to service at the Mis-
sion church. One night when Thomas
evil star had sway, however, the lady. who
is not church woman, went to see spec
tacular play at one of the theaters, and
among the ''supes," to her amazement and
horror, she discovered Thomas. arrayed in
fantastic garb. and displaying his stout legs
in wicked tights, to the evident delight of
the feminine beholders. When she remon-
strated next morning her remarks were met
with the reply:
1"Well. very likely 'twasn't the square
thing to lie to you, but you was easier in
your mind now, warn't you. IN if I'd er-told
yer where l really was going?"

The New Cruisers.

WASHINGTON, April 7.-Secretary
Whitney has decided to push to completion
the work on the cruisers Atlanta, Boston
and Chicago, so as to permit OF an early
adjustment of the accounts with the con-
tractors. To this end all extra work on
the vessels, such as the changes made in
the Boston and Chicago by direction of the
naval advisory board as result of the
trials of the Atlanta, will be discontinued,
and aside from some small changes neces-
sary to fit the vessels for sea, the energies
of the department will be concentrated
upon the work required by the original
contracts with John Roach. The secretary
to-day addressed letter to the chiefs of the
bureaus of construction and steam engineer
ing and to the assignees of John Roach to
the above effect.

THE CABINET ME ETING.
IL Discusses the Fisheries Question
and the Attitude of Great Britai i'm
coward Hayti.

Toward HayH.
WASHINGTON, April THE cabinet
met at II o'clock to-day in accordance with
the plan for the summer months, and re-
manned in session over three hours. The
meeting was devoted almost entirely to the
consideration of international questions
the most important relating to the Canadian
fisheries, the policy of Great Britain in re-
gard 10 the island of Hayti, and seal fish
cries of Alaska. In regard to the fisheries
question. it is understood that information
has been received to the effect that Eng
land sustans the position taken by, the,
Canadian authorities, and is in no wise
disposed to make the concessions requested
by this government This question was
considered by the cabinet with view TO
the ACCESSIBILITY of suitable action by the
president under the provisions of the re-
taliatory act. The alleged demand of Great
Britain for the possession of the
Tortugas islands or the payment by the
Haytian government 81, 100000 in settle
ment of old claims, was considered at some
length. The United States have great in
terestS in Hayti, commercial and otherwise.
and are deeply concerned in its welfare and
prosperity. A correspondence will be opened
with Great Britain ON this subject. The
Alaska seal fisheries were discussed with a
view to their better protection from foreign
interference. 1t is represented that the in
:erests are now threatened by the wantop
md wholesale slaughter of seals in the
open ocean. 1t seems that during the day
;he female seals leave their young on the
shores of the islands in charge of the mafes
while they 60 miles away in search of food,
with which they return at night Recently
a practice has sprung up of catching the
female seals while they are in search of
food. Their young perish as matter of
course, and the perpetuation of the ami
mails is endangered. The difficulty of con-
trolling this matter arises from the alleged
WANT of jurisdiction of our government
over those waters beyond the three miles
limit. The question will be again consid-
cred at a future meeting

New Use for Delivery Stamps.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

st. Louis GlObe-Democrat.
Tie heads of the departments who have
to deal with ofiice-seekers are considerably
annoyed at new use which has been made
of the special delivery stamp. Persons in
want of employment and failing to get an
audience, or who cannot obtain any answer
to their communications, now MAKE sure of
the delivery of their inquiries or requests
by investing 10 cents in a special delivery
stamp. The letter SO marked goes directly
to the secretary or to whoever it is ad-
dressed and if an answer is not obtained
there is satisfaction in knowing that the
missive has reached its intended destina-
ton, and that the official memory has been
logged and his promises made during the
winter recalled to him.
With the use of the special delivery
stamp there can be no claim ON the part of
an official that he did not receive a letter
and that it had been filed without his
knowledge in the regular order of business.
There seems to be no escape from the work
ings of this new scheme unless private Sec
retaries are directed to receipt for all mail
so stamped.

Authority from Maine.
The letter given below was
written to a prominent citizen of
Georgetown, Texas:

] L
Georgetown, Texas:
PORTLAND, June 20, 1887.
DEAR SRI am constantly re-
ceiving letters from Texas, asking
for information about the working
of Prohibition in Maine, relative
to which so many misstatements
are in circulation there, and in ev-
cry other state where the people
are to vote on a constitutional
amendment. In replying to these
letters there will be many repeti-
tons, because l must restate the
same facts. The active opposition
to prohibition which you have in
Texas is largely inspired, L think,
by the funds of the liquor leagues
scattered about with a lavish hand.
Now as to the effect of prohibition
in Maine:
l. Open liquor shops are nearly,
Or quite unknown. In more than
: Neesfonrths of our territory, con-
3te1tlng inoEo-tl.saii= tI-.-- e---,r
of our population, there are none
of any sort. In our cities secret
grog shops linger, as the result of
certain defects in our law, which
we shall have corrected by and by.
In all our rural districts, smaller
towns and villages, the traffic is
suppressed.
2. We had many distilleries and
breweries, now we have none. All
have been suppressed years ago.
the last distillery, a large brick
building, is now a great machine
shop, employing many men,
8. The amount of the liquor traf-
fic in Maine nov is not more than
one-twentieth of its former pro-
portions. Our people save annu-
ally, directly and indirectly, at
least s24,OOO,OO0, which but for
the Maine law, would be spent and
wasted in drink.
4. In the old rum time Maine
was the poorest state in the union,
now it is one of the most prosper
GUS. Our industries are greatly
multiplied and enlarged, and we
do not feel the effects of a fnan-
cial crisis as other people do in
states where the wages of labor,
and profits of business are wasted
in drink.
5. Our share of the national
drink bill would be now, about sl3,
annually, but 100000
will cover the cost of all the liquor
Struggled into the state and sold in
violation of law.
g. Our law was enacted in 1851,
and In 1884 after more than thirty
three years experience of its ben
efits, our people put it into the
constitution by a majority of A.
075, the affirmative vote being 3
times larger than the negative.
Z. With few amendments to
the law, such as we well under
stand, the fragment of the liquor
traffic remaining among us would
be swept out clean in six months.
s. The words failure, " repeal"
are never heard or thought
of here. The policy of prohibit
ton Is as firmly fixed in our state
as is that of free speech and free
universal education. Yours tru-
ly, NEAL Dow.

From an article headed THE
Evils of Debt the following ex-
tract is made; debt, the invinci-
BILE demon that walks with a man
now quickening his steps, now
making him look on all sides like
a hunted beast, and now bringing
- - 80 - -
as the unconscious passenger looks
glancingly about him. Poverty is
bitter draught, yet may, and
sometimes can, with advantage, be
gulped down. Though the drink
er makes very wry faces, there
may after all be wholesome good
ness in the cup. But debt, howev-
er courteously it may be offered,
is the cup of the syren, and the
wine, spiced and delicious though
it be, is poison. The man out of
debt, though with n flaw in his
jacket, a crack in his shoeleather
and hole IN his nat Is still the
son of liberty, free as the lark
above him; but the debtor, although
clothed in the utmost bravery,
what is he but a serf out on holi-
day-a slave to be reclaimed at
any instant by his owner, the cred
itor. If people would only make
a push at the beginning, instead
of the end, they would save them
selves of all this misery. The
great secret of being solvent and
well to-do, and comfortable, is to
get ahead of your expenses. Eat
and drink this month what you
earned last month what you
are going to earn next month.
Debt breaks in everywhere upon
the harmonious relations of men,
they blunt sensitiveness to person
al independence, and in no respect
that we can fathom, do they adj
vance the general well being"

it would be quite the proper thing to have

IN her shopping tours like o ~dismounting
outrider. The idea has caught the popular
fancy, and black pages in full livery are
all the rage. Clothed in gay colors, with
crssts or initials on the large buttons, the
little darkies are now to be seen every
